Short summary
As seawater is moved about by the different types of ocean flow, the pressure at the ocean bottom changes with time and location. We show that such bottom pressure variations are represented reasonably well by high-resolution climate models and that in some regions, like the Arctic Ocean, the intensity of the pressure fluctuations will likely increase under global warming. These insights are useful for the design of future satellite missions that will track mass variations in the Earth system.
